III. THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences. 1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation. 2. Horses and athletes must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids. 3. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event. 4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement. 5. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise. A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, Chemin de la Joliette 8, CH-1006 Lausanne, Switzerland. Telephone: +41 21 310 47 47. The Code is available in English. The Code is also available on the FEI s website: http://inside.fei.org/ 5

DEDUCTIONS FROM PRIZE MONEY AT COMPETITIONS: The tax form must be provided to the athletes upon arrival and returned to the Organiser prior to departing. Distribution of Prizes and Indemnities After having deducted possible outstandings from the prize-money and/or reimbursements (e. g. transport charges, travelling expenses), the remaining amount will be transferred after the event to the account registered with app.eventclearing.lu. Athletes are kindly requested to register themselves after closing date of entries, after having received an email from Event Clearting! All prizes in kind rewarded instead of prize money will be distributed acc. to FEI- RG Art. 127/128 following the last competition at the latest. Settlement will be done per athlete. Depending on the agreement with the horse owner, each athlete binds himself to pass on to the horse owners the prize money or prizes in kind rewarded instead of prize money. The organizer is allowed to deduct possibly outstanding debts of the athlete. Acc. to 50a EstG this also applies to foreign horse owners. As a rule the following income tax will be due, taking into account the prize money or prizes in kind rewarded instead of prize money per day: no taxes up to 250 EUR, 15 % exceeding 250 EUR; plus solidarity fee (at present 5,5 % from the tax deduction). Travelling expenses being taken over or reimbursed are only regarded as revenues if they exceed the actual costs and the reimbursement for additional meal allowances acc. to 4 Abs. 5 Satz 1 Nr. 5 EstG. The tax deduction has to be certified on demand. Those foreign athletes being exempted from tax deduction are kindly asked to submit an exemption certificate either with the entry or on the first show day at the latest. Every athlete himself is responsible for the correctness of the details he submits. If Athletes have to be placed equally, the money value of possible prizes in kind (e. g. a car) is divided accordingly. IMPORTANT The total amount of prize money shown for each Competition in the schedule must be distributed. (FEI General Regulations articles 127 and 128) The value of the 1st prize must not exceed 1/3 of the total prize money announced for the competition.
